Powertrain Options and Availability
The 3.8-liter V6 engine in the redesigned Mustang developed 145-190 horsepower- The GT came with a 5.0-liter V8, which sent 215-240 horses to the back axle. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard with either engine; 4-speed overdrive automatic optional, operating with electronic shift controls. The old-reliable overhead-valve V8 disappeared after 1995, edged aside by a more modern 4.6-liter V8 with dual-overhead-cam configuration. Cobras got a 305-horsepower dohc modification of the V8, whipping out 300 pound-feet of torque. The dual-cam version of the V8 disappeared for 2002 and returned in the '03 Mach 1. Also added for '03 was the SVT Cobra. It had a supercharged version of the Mach 1 engine that thumped out 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque.
